Playonline Virus (Mcafee FALSE POSITIVE)

[Madeline]

Meh PoL doesn't take that long to reinstall I guess.

Time to find a new scanner. This is what I get for being lazy and using my ISP's provided protection.

[Seraph]

Can we get a DLL comparison for sure to really put this thing to bed? I'd rather play it ultra safe instead of just assuming McAfee is dropping the ball again.

just got the same file from a friend, mcafee instantly quarntined it again

friend scanned it with AVG and found nothing so hurray for mcaffe, piece of shit

[Madeline]

Getting the file from a friend, will reopen and check for another false positive. If it fires off then mcafee is just horse shit.

Can't really do too much about McAfee here. It would cost thousands to switch.

gimme the name of the DLL, Ill post a cap of what it looks like on my system

nm, POLCORE.DLL cap incoming

It has to be an epicLulz false positive by shitty McAfee.

I just scanned with the latest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection and turned up nothing.

I can't even pull polcore over MSN lol. Stops at 0 KB and tells me to gtfo.

windows XP SP3 32bit. your results may vary depending on what OS you have

McAffe is a virus in its own right. It took forever to stamp it off an old family laptop that I was trying to fix up.

And PS it's pretty cheap to change away from it, considering there are pretty good free antivirus softwares out there.

my XP copy of it, vista users probably need the vista one which I dont have access to atm

[TaruMortis]

Is there no way to configure Mcafee to allow the file ?

[Madeline]

Not sure if it's a good idea to just tell mcafee to ignore this. But it can be restored and set to ignore, I think.

/cough AVG is not very good.
there are plenty of "free" virus scanners out there that you would normally have to pay money for, just make sure your going from a reputable site

I restore the file, but then when I go to open it it gets Quarantined again.. how do I set it to ignore it?

[Diabolic Peach]

Just got hit with this... can't find the "Trusted List" for MaAfee... we have restored the computer to yesterday hoping that would help and it didnt. We restored the file from McAfee and it still didn't allow the file.

I was about to comment on this. Every AV is different. You must set the file to "Ignore List" first and then "Restore" it.

Otherwise, the Real-Time Protection will just re-quarantine it (I'm not familiar w/ McAfee, so you might want to ask someone who has used that feature before).
